Fake Promises: a Masterlist

Okay folks. So as an Indian fangirl, life is not easy.

Do not get me wrong. I love louis. I love niall. I love harry. I love zayn. I love liam.

But they've made so many fake fucking promises and just god. I'm sick and tired of this all. Give us a chance, please? beyond just tweets.

And then I realized, most people have no idea about this.

So let's take a look:

Starting with Louis, he's been the most active, atleast. He's often spoken about us and has atleast acknowledged us which is... ig it's something. I'm not holding him to any of his promises though.

And he spoke on an Indian radio channel, which I have transcribed:

"To the Louies in India, I would just say thank you. Thank you very much for your support and often I see on social media, and honestly, ALL the time I'm talking to management about coming to a show in India so we're gonna make it happen."

Niall has only ever talked about India once and to be fair to him, he did say 'If i get a chance'.

Liam has spoken twice, but ditto. He said he'd love to, 'if possible'.

Zayn did have a four city tour planned out, so I don't blame him at all. Of course, all his tour plans fell through, so.

Harry. Harold. Haz. H. What do I even say about him. Lets just say searching up harry styles India won't yield any results at all.

So yeah, that was just to give y'all a little idea of what it's like to be an indian fan. Still gonna remain hopeful one of them's gonna come here one day.

If you look up on google, why no artist every comes to india, and understand I mean, all artists. It says it's because we don't buy cds. Guess what, folks? They're not sold in any stores. And buying them off their websites is absolutely impossible to a normal person earning a normal amount of money by indian standards.

Seems a bit unfair.

And please, understand that I love them, very very much. They've saved me and I'm literally never gonna stop loving them. But it does hurt. Being ignored like this.

Maybe one day.

Shawn Mendes and Niall Horan Timeline

Year 2017

JAN 2017 NIALL’S PICTURE WITH ‘THE BOY’ IS HIS MOST LIKED IG PICTURE OF 2016

FEB 2017

Feb 5 Niall posts on SnapChat:

Feb 12 Fans see Niall and Shawn together at a Top Golf in LA. Niall posts a video of Shawn golfing. According to later interviews, they watched the Grammys together.

MAR 2017

Mar 2 An interview with Shawn in Japan that I can’t find an active link to:

Mar 5 Shawn talking to an interviewer at the iHeart Awards: Totally [working on new music]. Yeah, and we also just hang out a bunch. He’s a really cool guy, so he’s been really sweet, and once we get the actual time to get to the studio, we’ll make some stuff happen.

Mar 7 Niall mentions The Collab at the Rays of Sunshine Event.

Mar 10 Niall talks to Pop Buzz about The Collab: Shawn Mendes. Again, we’re good mates and if we ever get the chance to – you know, he’s on tour here now. I go to America this week. It’s kinda like, back and forth. We spend a couple of days tog –

Interview: Busy, busy lads. (Hey dude, why’d you interrupt that, I need to know what he was going to say about them spending time together!)

Niall: Busy men! And we’d obviously love to but – you know it was great. Shawn’s new song, Holding Me Back, he played it to me – he wrote it the day before the Grammy’s and he played it to me – he had a demo, he played it to me in the car. We were driving up to my house, we’re going to watch the Grammy’s at my house, and he played it to me in the car. And he’s like ‘man, I really like this song, I wrote this yesterday.’ And then he posted a picture on his Instagram last week of the cover of his new single. And I sent him a voice note of me singing the song – I’d remembered it, I just remembered it saying “Holding Me Back” on his phone. It’s that catchy. Great song.

April 29 Shawn gets asked about The Collab: “There’s nothing happening yet, but I’m really good friends with ‘Noral.’”

MAY 2017

May 1 Shawn talks about The Collab with fans: Hopefully soon… I’m really, really good friends with him, actually. Probably one of my closest friends within the music industry. But we just don’t have the time, he’s working a lot. So, one day we will.

May 5 Nick Grimshaw brings up The Collab: You’re good friends with Shawn Mendes, right? And you’re going to work with him? ‘Cause I saw that video of you and him singing in a dressing room somewhere.

Niall: Yeah, that was actually my sitting room, thanks!

Nick: Was it really?!

Niall: Yeah – ‘your sitting room looks like a dressing room.’ […] After the AMAs, the American Music Awards. Yeah, I’d love to, but it’s just finding time. He’s over here touring, I’m about to go back to the States. It’s all a bit mad. Hopefully at some stage, do something together. He’s a good lad, too.

May 9 Shawn mentions The Collab at another Q&A: I haven’t seen Niall in a few months. We haven’t gotten to the studio yet, but one day, we’re going to be something. I know I keep saying that, but it’s not like we’re in the studio everyday, he’s on the other side of the world.

May 22 Niall talks about The Collab with fans: Whenever we get the chance. We’ve jammed a few times, like when we’re at the house and stuff like that, but… Yeah, and I keep finding like, ‘Shawn Mendes’ picks all over my house. Like loads of ‘em, just ones with ‘Shawn Mendes’ – how many times has he been to the house? Looks like he just emptied his pockets when he came in.

1075theriver miscaptions the video: NiallOfficial talking about finding photos of ShawnMendes around his house. Niall corrects them:

JUNE 2017

June 2

Niall sees Shawn at the O2 Arena!

Christiaan Bezuidenhou

t posts a picture and we crop it:

Jun 9 Niall chats with an interviewer about seeing Shawn at the O2: I’m good mates with Shawn Mendes and he was playing the O2 the other night, and I went to watch him. I’m 23 and I’m standing there, he’s 18. And I felt like a proud older brother in a way. He’s 18 and selling out arenas. I was thinking, ‘[One Direction was] doing that as well.’ It was a bit of a head-bender and it was good to see.

With another interviewer: Do you ever come up with some songs and you think 'we should release these’?

Niall: Yeah there was one time when me and Shawn Mendes were in my house and we started jamming out, and we had a few beers and forgot.

Jun 10 Shawn about Niall at the Summer Time Ball: I’m definitely going to see Niall. I don’t know where he is but I’m going to go find him now.

Jun 19 Niall talks about Shawn coming over to his house: we had a couple of beers, and we were jamming a little bit, and I played a couple of songs to him, and he seemed to like them!

Jun 20 About Shawn: I love Shawnie. He’s the man. He keeps saying to me: ‘I’m so new to this!’

Interviewer: So what kind of advice do you offer him?

Niall: He gets really nervous a lot. He’s 18 years old! We all forget ‘cause he’s 6′5 and looks like Michael Phelps doesn’t mean that he’s not 18.

AUG 2017

Aug 5 A fan asks who Shawn’s favorite member of One Direction is: 'I love Niall.’ (I’m the girl in the background saying ‘Niall’ like DUH.)

Aug 8 Niall posts: 

It’s this fellas birthday ! Happy birthday shawnmendes .

Aug 20 Shawn confirms The Collab, once again, during Q&A

Aug 28 Niall posts to IG, 'watching the lad’ perform at the VMAs

SEP 7, 2017

Awww... 🥰 

Oct 5 Again with The Collab: Seen him last week in LA, but we were just going for a beer, we didn’t go and write songs.

Oct 19 Niall for Dan Wootton: The fans would love it. He’s in the middle of his album at the minute so if we can get something rustled up in the next while, we’ll see what happens. But we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Oct 20 Niall does a Q&A – mentions wanting to collab with Shawn, and his favorite songs: “Obviously, Mendes’s got some big tunes out at the minute.”

NOV 20 2017 THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS!

The seating chart

They sat next to each other.

Stared lovingly into each other’s eyes. Shawn posted it to his IG, as one does:

Bonus: Zedd is us and we are Zedd

Dec 18 Fan asks Shawn a Need To Know question about Niall: If you were a girl, would you date Niall Horan? Oh, absolutely.

[alarrytale]

The same happens with Niall and Zayn. They never get papped or take fan pics.//

Zayn had a huge amount of HQ pap pics taken just a few weeks ago at Paris Fashion Week. He went to four different shows. Zayn and Niall also regularly post personal updates to IG (vacation pics, pics of Niall's houses and Zayn's farm) which Louis very rarely does. Niall is also all over Tiktok and Be Real providing content.

Hi, anon!

Yup! They've all got different tactics to engange their fans and achieve attention. They've also got different personalities, images and target audience. But the most important factor is promo budgets. H's promo budget is probably tripple that of the others. Everything they do is measured by return of investment (ROI). They won't put effort into to things that won't give them what to expect in return. That would be wasted time, money and energy.

Louis post selfies, is probably the most active on twitter out of them and he does regular q and a's. He also usually greets fans after shows and take pictures with them. He does M&G sometimes too. He does fan signings.

The difference between H and the others is that H is much busier. He's always promoting something, he's not just an artist and performer. He's a walking billboard, fashion influencer and actor too. He's got more to promote and thus puts more effort into promoting. His return on investment is great. His promo is working as intended. That's not always the case for the others. The playing field isn't equal between them, so we can't expect the same results for all of them.

[dogsliampaynedoesntinstagram]

hi! appreciate for your answer, thankyou for taking your time.

my initial observation was based on the guardian articles of louis shortly after the break and also on AOTV where he implied that there’s no big label/records offering him a contract (before Jay’s diagnosis), meanwhile the rest of OT3 got them. even his first single was not followed by an album (from what I learn this was what made rads hated that his career was somehow felt sabotaged).

so in the end, he needs to search for a slightly different market that would made his career more sustainable and be ok that his promotion in the US is not that massive. (not that I dont like, all his music genre are in my spotify playlist).

I guees I’m just sad that once he felt that he was left behind. And I don’t know if this was a good indicator, but I felt that Niall is more popular for the GP since he has 32.3M instagram followers, almost double of what Louis’ has. But really I dont follow the boys from the beginning, is Niall more popular than him in the 1D days?

Anon 2: the same anon, if you’re wondering where I come from, I’m coming from asian country where our references for new music were the billboard. were not in the 1D fandom, and just a casual listener. didnt know 1D personnel except harry. a listener of avicii and others at that time. during the start of solo, loved back to you and just hold on, actually pretty surpised that the singer was coming from 1D lol such a different music (but idk why i’d just google the singer aka louis last year), familiar by OT4 songs from passing on radio but not taking time to take a look into their album since the sound is not my thing. and now I’m here in the fandom since i guess that one click of louis leads ig to give me larry content and i was fascinated ‘oh this is possible and interesting’ and ‘they’re really cute, damn hell why wasnt i in the fandom when they were active’. and also playing fitf on repeat now.

**************

I think there are all sorts of different ways to respond to Louis and his career and to have come to him and made sense of what he does anon. But I cannot stand the way people dismiss the impact of trauma and distress on Louis. Here you are imagining a time that doesn't exist - a time where meaningful things were happening in solo careers and Jay was not yet diagnosed.

Jay was diagnosed in April or May 2016. The only 1D member who had a record deal at that point was Zayn. 1D members were in the studio so they could figure out what sort of artist they were and take that to the record label, and they may have been in early talks - but there's no reason to think anyone had signed with a major label.

Louis had a really, really rough few years - of course he felt all sorts of things about his life and his career in that time - that's really normal and OK. Despite that he's built a sustainable career. There's no need to catastrophise around any of this - and certainly I will continue to advocate against the erasure of the trauma he experienced.

[leesh]

and i absolutely agree! i believe there’s a huge difference with having blurry photos taken of your intimate moments and the odd pap walk vs actively blasting your relationship for all to see

Pick a side lmao your next ask completely opposite of what you said. Aslo sm us not everything damnit they're celebrity on Hollywood not ig influencers lmaoooo

not all my anons are in agreement with me lol i’m just sharing my own thought and ?? i’m aware he’s a celeb and not an ig influencer ?? but a ig story of your partner is still public, i don’t mean they need a sit down video announcing they’re dating lol

even niall doesn’t post amelia and i don’t think he’s ever really named her but he’s talked about having a gf and that to me is being public with your gf, which is not what harry has done in the past at all

aaaaaand i’d consider reece witherspoon a celeb not an ig influencer and look at the announcement she just posted bc she had a public relationship soooo
